I think, but am unsure, that this removal may cause havok for people who use a microsoft login for windows 10

I fear that people will already be angry that "we" have deleted their credentials for their NAS share. (That's why I don't understand why CCleaner also has built-in entries for passwords. IMHO passwords are not crap.)

The Security Token Service provides brokered authentication for web services. Previously there was an issue when removing Token Broker Cache files on a Windows Insider Preview build. It was removing Windows Insider account login info. The issue was fixed in the later insider preview build.

It is already in the Winapp3.ini: [Windows Search Cache *]. It was removed in 2013 because it crashed explorer.exe in Windows 7/8 and temporarily removed all Metro apps from the Windows 8 start screen.

The revised entry is now only for Windows 10, but since Safe Mode and/or a reboot are required, it would be better if it remains a Winapp3.ini entry.

With all the previous discussion about "Action Center" on Windows 10, it does not seem to be agreed by the global community that "Action Center" is not the correct name. Perhaps we should rethink the change that was made a few days back, eh?

Yes, if you right-click on the balloon icon in the lower right corner, the menu should also display "Open action center". But Microsoft also calls it "Notifications and Action Center", so the current entry name [Notifications *] is ok for me.

Is it considered bad, or taboo to clean things located in (on Win10): C:\ProgramData

Reason I ask is because on my Win10 system I've found two things in my opinion worth cleaning, but when looking in winapp2.ini and searching I see nothing in there that targets in particular: %ProgramData%

No, we clean a lot of files under C:\ProgramData. Search for entries using the variable %CommonAppData% (=C:\ProgramData).
